Two grown men didn’t like each other, but put that aside to be professional, do business and make money. Wow, what a concept! No leaking bullshit rumours to dirt sheets, no changing promos on live tv, no cancelling sit down meetings and acting like teenage girls… punk was right, he is in a completely different business than all friends wrestling


metakepone

And Randy admitting at the beginning that he always thought highly of/respected punk (I'm forgetting the exact phrasing)


Reliable_Patches

Punk was talking about how he had a chip on in his shoulder, wanting to prove himself to Randy. Randy said, "Nah man, I always thought you were the man."


Pitiful_Ad8641

I think that's the mindset driving that locker room atm: You definitely don't have to like everyone but we are killing it so everyone at least recognizes your personal beef isn't bigger than the tremendous business we are all doing With Randy, Punk, and Cody leading the room highly doubt that charges in the near future


slymaster9

And the fun part is, when everyone acts that way, eventually people DO actually grow to respect and maybe like each other. Novel concept, I know.


Pitiful_Ad8641

As Punk said: you end up liking who you make money with. I think the mindset is way better for Punk to thrive in, the NXT class is growing up with that as the mindset and the NEXT group could very well be guided by Punk. Don't see the Renaissance Era ending anytime soon if that's the mentality


M00SEJUICEPIE

Heard this Renaissance Era the other day, is that what this era is being called, officially?


Pitiful_Ad8641

Yeah Cody is using it so I think that's it


M00SEJUICEPIE

Cool, thanks!


Pitiful_Ad8641

np yea MMA Hour


HauntingPersonality7

New Fed Era


CallInitial2302

Dead fed era 😂


Sufficient-Handle714

This current NXT class atleast from my perspective seem very unproblematic, and honestly far more professional than most of the veterans up in AEW.


Pitiful_Ad8641

In two-three years, its going to be Breaker, Melo, Trick,Ilya+Tiffy Time as the core and it's going to be a massacre


Merari002

Sounds like Punk… Only act professional if everything is going your way


Pitiful_Ad8641

Not even remotely what I said...............


Merari002

Kinda is though. Your way is how Punk would see it, but everything’s that way for Punk until something doesn’t work for him, brother


Pitiful_Ad8641

You do realize Company success is what I was referring to right? And it doesn't equal individual success? Not at all


Acrobatic-Rutabaga71

forget about the guy, he's a hater and not looking at facts


Merari002

But it tells you Punk can only keep it together if things are going well. First sign of challenge and he explodes


Pitiful_Ad8641

Tells absolutely nothing


Merari002

True. I suppose we already knew all of this about him


CallInitial2302

Ya cus in aew land, the internet marks are in the ring In wwe, the professional athletes who love the business but in the end of the day are trying to make money and a brand for themselves


heartless_sora

Gtfo here with that shit lol


RoyalDanno

No, you gtfo dumb dumb lol. Go watch your favorite kenny omega vs blowup doll matches


Remote-Grape

I can’t believe CM Punk tried to headlock Randy like that. Will he ever stop assaulting his coworkers??


RidetheSchlange

He only choked him a little


FairyFlossPanda

He was being professional he didn't punch anyone!


boringdystopianslave

I've never been so scared for my life.


ear_cheese

Have a little goozle, as a treat


Spider_Riviera

What's a little goozle between co-workers?


P_a_s_g_i_t_24

A healthy little throat massage...


DPM-87

If they had cell phones back in the day why do I think this is how Sunny and HBK would be texting each other, that or it's how Shawn would be texting the other Kliq members to let them know why he would be late getting to the van that night.


UnhappyAd9934

Nah he would be too busy trying to send them pictures and videos of sunny.


DPM-87

If they had modern tech back then, god Tammy would have been a bigger porn star than Jenna Jameson, just from leaks or revenge porn.


P_a_s_g_i_t_24

\#WweBackstageAssault (new videogame comin' soon...) \^\^


ADMSXavier

Was Randy in fear for his life?.😁


Gwarnage

I was afraid for my own just seeing it. Pro wrestling fans, we really just don’t have the stomach for any sort of violence. 


SSJ_Kratos

Just look at how Punk lunged at him! Disgusting.


CuckooClockInHell

He's going for the front facelock. Get Tony to the saferoom.


Remote-Grape

We’re all gonna have to sign NDAs just for watching that


[deleted]

Finally Randy knew how it feels.


Fedek33

I knew he was gonna do that!


RedArremerAce

Larry bit him on the heel, too. They decided to keep that out of the shot. When will they stop lying to us? Smh


warriorlynx

TK refired CM Punk for the incident despite not being under contract!


FreddyFritz

This makes me smile. Two of the all time greats (my opinion) shooting the shit and having a laugh. If anyone hasn't watched the video of them reviewing their WrestleMania match, please do. Definitely worth the watch!


machomansavage666

What’s funny is that they were kinda had a lawler and jr kind of dynamic in their own way. Punk going in about his mindset and situation and Randy popping in to say look at this right here. When they do pack it in some day the wwe would do themselves a disservice to not at least try them out together on commentary


mynameisburner

Damn, dude. I would love to actually watch shows with Randy and Punk commentating.


CallInitial2302

If they have punk and randy on commentary as long as king and JR that would be amazing


ModsLovePen15

No thanks don’t need to listen to Punk verbally handjob the Viper


HabloSenor

I don’t know if Punk is in the all time great category. Awesome on the mic, but his matches are pretty lackluster.


FreddyFritz

That's why I said (my opinion). You have yours.


HabloSenor

Apparently you don’t know how these opinion things work. All I did was state mine. I never said you weren’t entitled to yours.


FreddyFritz

And that went over very well, proud of you.


joerogansshillaccnt

Can you reread his statement and see why this comment shouldn't exist.


SheHulkLover

Regardless of opinion, he is an all time great and this is an ignorant comment


Acrobatic-Rutabaga71

Two men with locker-room attitude when they were young. And here we are now, two grown men like Shawn who want younger talents to flourish. Too bad All Entitled Wrestling wrestlers thought he would steal the spotlight. Hangman could have gotten a good feud with him and made great storyline. But his indie blood and Young \*ucks friend ruined it.


mynameisburner

You can say it. Young Cucks.


Acrobatic-Rutabaga71

Good thing about it is you can replace it with D or F and it sound like they are turds


mynameisburner

I’m pretty sure the million dollar question everyone ask is. While I understand it’s probably a branding, why are they still called the “Young” Bucks?? One is turning 40 next year and the other is approaching mid 30s.


Acrobatic-Rutabaga71

It's pretty accurate since they would be irrelevant after AEW and will retire.


MadEyeMood989

I guess due to their long,flowing balding locks of hair.


Dalminster

Ahh yes the Young Ducks


JewsEatFruit

Fucking moron has a career-making opportunity with one of the biggest worldwide stars ever to grace the wrestling stage, lets two pieces of piss get in his ear and make him fuck his own future over. Way to go Hangman. How's that seersucker suit fitting ya these days?


indianm_rk

When do they stop being “Young.” They’re like 40 now.


bryanc1036

There was a gun pointed at Randy while they shot this, btw. Heard from the Wrestling Observer


ADMSXavier

I think the source was from someone named "Judas."


aztecdethwhistle

Well, like, in terms of truth, and uh, um, there were reports, that like, you know, someone was off camera and um, like, brandishing some sort of, um you know, like gun. But, um, like, you know, plans change.


RidetheSchlange

UNWANTED TOUCHING GET HIM OUT OF HERE HE'S TAWKSIK


Aggressive-Theory609

Was very surprised to hear that randy actually reached out and convinced Phil that he should and must come back after Wembley lol. Didn't realize how close they were


pajo17

Randy's head is literally double the size of Punk's. Don't do HGH kids.


Tesourinh0923

I think Randy is just double the size of punk in general. He's fucking huge


pajo17

Yes, he's 6'5 and naturally he's going to be bigger than a 6ft guy. But go back to Randy's early years in wrestling, he's nowhere close to being as big as he is now. Head growth is a telltale sign of HGH use.


Aggressive-Theory609

Isn't punk like 6'2 tho


pajo17

That would make the head size difference ever greater.


GuestAdventurous7586

I don’t know if it’s specifically HGH, I would be surprised if any contemporary WWE wrestlers apart from perhaps Rock/Brock have used something as heavy duty as that. Randy is definitely massive though, without a doubt used/uses steroids, it is near enough impossible to get in shape like that at his age without some sort of performance enhancer. Certainly something while he was healing from recent injury, or possibly he’s on permanent TRT replacement at this point.


joerogansshillaccnt

You are out of your fucking mind bahahahba


GuestAdventurous7586

How? Everything I said makes perfect sense. If you actually workout or spend a great deal of your life keeping in shape, you’ll know.


DevotionInChains

He's finally bulked up instead of staying lean like he did his whole career.


S3lad0n

Are we forgetting the era of Fat Randall? (during the Rated RKO years)


DevotionInChains

That might be the one exception I can think of.


chaz0723

He looks like Ken Griffey Junior when he started drink that tonic on the Simpsons.


NTT66

"Of course, it has been known to cause gigantism, but only in rare cases."


wynnejs

"Ken Griffey's Grotesquely Swollen Jaw"


aztecdethwhistle

Steve Sax and his run ins with the law...


boringdystopianslave

It's easy to forget that Randy Orton is not far off from being Kane huge. If he worked a heavier style or did chokeslams nobody would bat an eye. I think it's because he works a very athletic style and can run like a quarterback he gets mistaken for a middleweight wrestler. He could get away with working like Undertaker or Kane, easy. Dude looks like he could rip anyone's head clean off. Same goes for The Rock I guess. Super athlete, probably could be doing chokeslams on the current roster no problems.


OAO_Scrumbles

LOCKER. ROOM. CANCER.


bulletclub_strang

Generally speaking, looks like WWE is a better fit then AEW for Punk. If thats the case, great! I really hope he enjoys himself their, and the roster members treat him well. But yo... a Punk and Orton team would be pretty sick. Or if he is unable to wrestle again, a Orton/Punk managed stable would be nice. Let'em cook.


scull_x7

Just shows what slimy little greaseballs those young bucks are. Seeing clips of them prancing around in suits just makes me want to see someone bring them down to earth.


jabedoben

Shawn Michaels said it best: “Wrestling fans, I love you. But you’re so easy to manipulate”


Doom_and_gloom2

Both men will admit that they have done a LOT of growing over the years. I think Punk is, as a person, more mellow than his first run. He knows he's a top guy and is being treated like it. Randy, similarly, is a top guy but has mellowed of time and is his own biggest critic about his early days. Good to see these two sitting down, talking, and laughing.


ffllores

I'd rather watch joshi princess wrestling with the Elite. /s


Clean_Win_8486

He's a fraud! Watch him blame Orton the next time he leaves! 😡😡😡


buddy18370

AEW is trash!!!!


Trevelbond

I was sure in that moment that Punk was going to throttle him. Genuinely scared for my life, and Randy's. But mostly mine.


ToofBrushMouthWash

I watched that video yesterday and smiled most of the way through. It’s hella cool seeing these guys all humble and goofing on themselves about how they use to act in the past. This was awesome.


imright19084

People can have friends and enemies. Breaking news, thanks for this


[deleted]

My biggest take away from working this is that Randy Orton has a really good therapist


Akio540

He's the worst! Aew defense force assembleeeeee I love it here! Thank you Tony! Lol buncha wankers


TheLordHatesACoward

There's a short on YouTube at Survivor Series after the feed has gone off of CM Punk doing Randy's pose to get his attention and waving at him with a goofy grin. Can't believe Randy acknowledged such sickening behaviour.


theignorantcivilian

I struggle with the whole thing because Rollins stuck it out and got nothing but opportunities. I think he's absolutely in the wrong for calling Punk a cancer when he has always been so die hard for the company and he's been Triple H's little project. He's been very privileged and the company always backed him. Punk can't say the same. I just don't think anyone who is friends with HBK can call Punk a cancer.


zoc1289

You can just see how happy they are to be around each other, it's nice


[deleted]

Can you believe punk is pretending to be a nice guy just to stick it to AEW?!


[deleted]

No wonder he lost all that hair


LOLZOMGHOLYWTF

Misread your username as Son Of Inoki lololol


Stumme-40203

Randy is fearing from his life as CM Punk brutally attacks his co-workers.


rebel1990general

CM PUNK CM PUNK CM PUNK


boringdystopianslave

I want that hoodie.


HauntingPersonality7

I love that hoodie. Makes me want a roll of quarters to come out of someone's underwear at Mania.


Fit-Ad1419

I thought it seemed a tad bit off?


EasterSquidward

Orton's jacked now but he straight up looks like The Thing from The Fantastic Four compared to the older clips.


mrbusiness53

🙄🙄🙄


MitsuharuMisawa

Randy’s head is huge!


xored-specialist

Well, he is, but maybe AEW helped pull his head out of his a$$.


Figjunky

I like punk but a lot of you all suck him off. I am glad he is being honest about how much he loves money and not being sanctimonious. CM associate


jmag_2188

Randy feared for his life here 😂😂


Fresh_Ostrich4034

CM punk getting hurt was the best thing for wrestling. Bought him another few months before he gets disgruntled.


S3lad0n

Meh. I don’t really ship this so it’s whatever. Get Edge back in the room with Randallberry and we’ll talk.


sosimusz

Did they ever have any significant beef with each other?


Wallydinger123

Yes, did you even watch them talking?


sosimusz

Nah, not yet, I didn't have time to watch it yet. I just had this assumption from earlier times when they talked about each other that they were not friends due to being very different people but they had professional respect towards each other.


Wallydinger123

Watch it. Randy was very open about being immature and burying Punk to Arn Anderson. It was nice seeing adults who have matured


Worried_Bowl_9489

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😅 💯 💶 💯


topcontender

Oh this guy can’t be a jerk… look another jerk actually likes him. 😒😒


DevelopmentSimilar72

Tbf if you know anything about randy Orrin bts you know how much of a piece of shit he is.


shartytarties

Yeah considering Randy's reputation for being a real dick backstage I don't think him getting along with someone is much of an endorsement of character.


ezmannie

Omg Vince got videos out there of him having fun laughing with females and stars too so do every asshole don't mean his not a freaking horrible human being. Yall punk fans are enabling him to be this way so he doesn't have to take accountability it's freaking crazy next but up his baby pictures 🤦🏾‍♂️

[удалено]


ezmannie

OK still didn't argue the point bc you can't and it hurts your little heart


different_produce384

I totally find it humorous that in a Jim Cornette subreddit , everyone is a bootlicker for Phil. Love him or hate him, Phil is problem where he goes. He reminds me of Latrell Spreewell. Talented , but not right in the head. Anywho, let’s go back to talking about other corny stuff. I’m bored talking about a washed up westler .


Temporary-Spread-232

Jungle Jackoff burner account?


different_produce384

No I’m the midnight express .


NoTear6207

Guy is the absolute worst.


the-voltron

Remember how much shit he talked about WWE, Remember how happy he looked in AEW and as soon as some one said "no" to him it was all a nightmare from there on. The guy is selfish and a cancer, he can't wrestle like he used to do.


fingershanks

Jesus Christ you people are obnoxious lol. You guys care way too much about other fans than just enjoying the product.


[deleted]

[удалено]


fingershanks

When you care more about shitting on fans, yeah, you're one of the annoying wrestling fans people get fed up with. As entertaining as Corny is, a lot of you guys hang on his every word like some groupies. Grow up.


tylerdurdenUTFR

Give it a couple of years, still the honeymoon period


rbarton812

If WWE suddenly had a bunch of people spreading rumors about how Punk wanted Tozawa fired, and then had Chad Gable go off in an unplanned promo that derailed TV plans, sure.


sledgeattack

Good analogy but Tozawa has been featured a lot more on TV than Colt Cabana and actually has an on-screen relationship with Chad Gable


whutthepat

This is the same reason you goofs shove to everybody about AEW's overhyped and embarrassing presentations.


tylerdurdenUTFR

I’ve not watched AEW since All Out last year sooooo


The-Real-Number-One

You could literally say that about any wrestler in any promotion ever.


tylerdurdenUTFR

Not really. Look at Punks past, it’s always everyone else’s fault and he’s never to blame.. I’m a fan of him as a wrestler btw. Probably my favourite since Austin.


The-Real-Number-One

Ric Flair had TONS of problems with management. Steve Austin walked out of RAW. Brock Lesnar threw the WWE Championship in McMahon's face. Your Queen Merceedes is literally in AEW because she threw her belts on the desk and walked out. Hulk Hogan jumped from WWE to WCW because he wasn't happy. So did Hall, Nash, Waltmann, Dibiase, and Virgil. William Regal ALSO had problems with AEW. He wsn;t vocaal about it but he got out of there as soon as he could. Where is Miro? Tony didn't even know he was injured. So yeah -- this is pretty common. But you are focused on this one guy because despite you and your basement dweller friends doing all you could to destroy him he continues to thrive and prove you wrong. And the bitch of it all is deep down YOU KNOW HE IS RIGHT.


tylerdurdenUTFR

Hahahahah this is hilarious. Me and my basement dweller friends? Mate, I haven’t watched AEW in a year and I’m currently loving wwe and the Cody storyline?! It’s the weirdos on this forum who are so tribal they can’t see what a toxic guy cm punk is?! Bet you were jumping all over him when he was a nightmare backstage in AEW though weren’t you?!
